The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 146

146 LIL THING

Iris felt like they were robbing Lou if they took this much of stones from his place, more so she was not used to act like this, thus she felt guilty conscience, added that to the fact Cane didn’t have any indication to find the pet.

She tugged at Cane’s sleeve. “Don’t you feel like we are stealing these stones?” she asked hesitantly.

“No, this is an abandoned cave,” Cane replied simply. “Find more.”

Iris grimaced, but she was curious enough to see how Lou would react when he learned that Cane robbed him under his nose, under his roof.

All her life, she had struggled to survive under her brother’s torture and tried to help the slaves as much as she could, but she didn’t know you could fool others like this with wordplay and Cane was really good at it.

Oh, the more Iris saw it, Cane was undaunted and a little bit… brazen.

“What are you waiting for? Cane frowned when Iris looked at him intensely, deep in her thought, until she didn’t realize that she had been gawking at the alpha.

Iris hurriedly lowered her head and then moved away from him to find more stone hidden inside the

rock.

The important thing that you had to pay attention to when you dug the magic stone was; you couldn’t do it roughly, because the magic stone was a frangible item, once your tool hit it and it cracked, it was

a waste.

Therefore, it took time to get one of the magic stone, let alone the effort to find the exact location. But, Iris could do it without any problem.

When Iris moved away to find more stone, Cane stood up all of sudden when he heard something approaching them.

The sound of its footsteps echoed in this cave and how the ground was shaking a little bit, you would know the creature that approached you was big enough to create such vibration only by moving alone.

Iris seemed to feel the ground was shaking, as she retraced and stood next to Cane. “What happened? Is something happening?” She looked at his grim expression.

“Stay back, Cane said curtly, he pushed Iris aside and handed the bundle filled with magic stones to her hands.

After that, he shifted into his black wolf and stood right in front of Iris. His wolf was bigger than any other shifter because he was the alpha, the height of this wolf even reached Iris’s shoulder and twice her size. She literally could ride him.

Well, she wouldn’t dare to think about that…

The black wolf stood guard in front of Iris, as its golden eyes looked at intensely at certain point behind the stalactite. A low growl could be heard rumbled from its throat, a warning.

Iris couldn’t hear that, but she could see how the wolf was ready to tear its opponent, once it felt the

danger.

However, after they waited, the ground stopped shaking and instead of that there was a soft whinny sound from behind the stalagmites.

Iris frowned because the ground stopped shaking, but she didn’t have any idea with the whinny sound, as far she could see was the black wolf moved toward a certain point, where he had been glaring at.

Her heart beat so fast, because she was afraid there was something bad would happen or they would.

meet some ferocious monsters.

Iris tried to crane her neck, but she couldn’t see things hear, aside from the light from the luminous night pearls that scattered around the cave, there was no source of light here, thus it was rather dimmed and to be left alone like this, made Iris conscious to her surroundings.

“Alpha?” Iris tried to call him. She was upset because she couldn’t hear a thing. Was there any fight? Was there a roar? A growl? Was there a commotion?

But if that was the case, the old man, who was standing near the door would come to check, right? Or he went out and left them here?

“Alpha?” Iris tried to call him again, but there was no way for her to know, even if the black wolf replied to her.

And after some time, Iris braced herself and walked closer toward where Cane had gone, hugging the bundle of the water magic stones in her arms. She looked vigilant, as she tried to gauge the situation.

There were a lot of stalagmites here, thus it obscured her vision.

Not too far, she saw a river and the black wolf, it was Cane’s beast, but he stayed still, as if puzzled and then shifted back into his human form.

Seeing that, Iris assumed there was no longer danger, therefore, she approached him.

“What happened?” Iris followed his line of sight and gasped by what she was seeing. “What is that?” she blinked her eyes in disbelieved.

Right in front of her was as polar bear, as big as Cane, its fur was pure white with emerald eyes golden necklace around its thick neck.

and a

“Is that the pet that he wants?” Cane knitted his brows. “Lil Thing?” he scoffed disdainfully. “That crazy guild…”

Which part

of that thing was little? Even its paw was the size of Iris’s face.

Cane was sure this big fur ball was that pet that Lou had called as Lil Thing, because of the golden. necklace. Who would be crazy enough to give an expensive golden necklace to a random creature. Moreover, covered by its fur was a thumb size ruby stone.

However, it was not the only thing that Cane noticed, but the fact that this creature was sitting leisurely against the stalagmite and crushed the stalactite above him, as it ate the rock.

“That bear is eating the water magic stone, Iris said.

Only after she mentioned it, Cane noticed the shards of magic stones.

But then, the bear tossed the piece of stalactite and looked at Iris with interest and moved lazily

toward her.
